Double check your calendar: Winterfest will be held the weekend of Feb. 11 through 13. “Since the school vacation isn’t until the last week of February, the intent was to have Winterfest the weekend of Feb. 11 through 13,â€? said Project CafĂŠ board member Kurt Wheeler. “This allows for more planning time after the New Year and avoids the perennial conflict with Area All-State for music.â€? The school district calendar advertises Winterfest as the previous week.

Winterfest planned for Feb. 11-13 By Doug Campbell

Officials offer their proudest moments of 2010, hopes for 2011 This has been another exciting and active year for the village of Cazenovia. We had a very busy year making improvements to streets, roads, sidewalks, planting trees, and making changes to our village code. Below are some of the highlights of 2010. Two new officials joined the village team Thomas in 2010. David Porter Dougherty was elected to the Village Board of Trustees in June of 2010 and Michael Hayes was named village police chief in September of 2010. Both David and Chief Hayes have hit the ground running and have made positive impacts to the village in just a short time. We thank former Trustee Rich Huftalen and former Police Chief David Amico for their service to the village and wish them the very best in future endeavors. We had a very busy legislative year in the village of Cazenovia. During the year we had 12 public hearings and a joint meeting with the town of Cazenovia to discuss the operations of the boat launch and other intermunicipal activities. History has shown that the more public involvement we have in

We thank the village residents for their support in 2010. The following is a list of some of the legislative activities completed in 2010. • Adopted a local law to authorize the Village Justice Court to establish a Parking Violations Bureau to assist the court in the processing of parking tickets (January) • Adopted a “Social Host Lawâ€?. The local law is intended to deter the consumption of alcohol by minors by holding those over the age of 18 responsible when they knowingly permit the consumption of alcohol by minors at their residence or on their property (March)

• Approved a resolution to allow overnight parking on Riverside Drive (April). Currently we have five spaces rented to village residents. • Approved a three-year contract with the village police (April) • Passed a local law that would prohibit smoking in Burton Street Park and in certain specified areas of Lakeland and Lakeside Park (July) • Passed a resolution approving the settlement agreement with National Grid on the Gross Receipt Tax issue (October) • Passed a resolution revising the fire contracts with the towns of Cazenovia, Fenner, and Nelson (October) • Passed a local law on new sign

From page 1 spending from previous year.

regulations for the village of Cazenovia (November) • Passed a resolution approving a new 15-year cable TV franchise agreement with Time Warner (November) • The village street crew has had a very busy year making improvements to our streets, sidewalks and infrastructure and performing maintenance of village structures. We had a very successful year managing the boat launch and using our Carpenters Barn facility for the Summer Recreation Program. The tree commission did a great job planting trees throughout the village. Below is a list of some of the projects and some of the improvements we made in 2010. • Purchased a new backhoe • Worked with the NYS Canal Corp to clean up and repair the leaks in Carpenters Pond • Completed paving projects on Chenango Street, Hickory Lane, South Ten Eyck, Fountain Park, and parts of Emory, Green, and Corwin streets using a new paving technique. • Installed a new water main on Chenango Street • Installed several new fire hydrants in the village • Installed sidewalk from Carriage Lane to McDonald’s • Added an addition to the water garage and to the cemetery garage • Installed new fences and drainage at Lakeside Park • Installed new windows in the skating rink hut at Burton Street Park • Installed new roofs on the dugouts at Burton Street Ball Field • Installed new energy efficient lights in the municipal building, maintenance garage, and the Water Department building The economy has made it hard to make ends meet financially for the average household. Our 2010-2011 budget is a prime example. Our expenses went up in insurance and retirement cost and we received very little additional revenue in the modest increase in the villages’ taxable assessments. The sales tax revenues were also down by 7.45 percent. The Board of Trustees worked very hard to maintain our current level of services while trying to keep the property tax raise to a minimum. The final budget number for 2010 was $2,131,776.80, which was a $55,843 increase in

Our tax rate increased by 2.9 percent to $5.83 / $1000. The sad part about all of this is that there is no relief in sight. Without a drastic reduction in services or a substantial increase in our tax base, the future will continue to be a struggle to keep property taxes from going up. This is not a good situation to be in but I hope that most residents feel that they are getting a good return on their tax dollars. Looking forward There are many challenges that lie ahead in 2011. We need to continue to look for funding to perform extensive repairs to our Lakeland Park property. We need to complete the revision of the village code to incorporate required changes specified in the Comprehensive Plan. We need to develop a new Village of Cazenovia Emergency Preparedness Plan. Our current plan was issued in 1983. We need to solve the problem of storm water in-leakage into the sanitary sewer system. We applied for a grant in 2009 and 2010 to do a project on the north side of the Historic Business District. Our application was not accepted in 2009 but we are hoping that our 2010 application will be accepted. We need to continue to work on a solution to our longstanding parking problems in the village and we will continue to work on the development of the Riverside Drive property. As always, the community’s ideas and suggestions are welcome in trying to solve our challenges. This past year marked the bicentennial of the incorporation of the village of Cazenovia. Although we did not have an official celebration in honor of

the event, we all are very proud of our village and the hard work that our forefathers have done to set us up for success. It is through their work and vision that we are blessed with this great village. But all their work would have gone for naught if it were not for the continuing efforts and support of the village residents, the elected officials, appointed officials, and village employees. It is their combined efforts that make the village of Cazenovia such a special place to live. Thanks to all of you.

Village of Cazenovia Deputy Mayor Kurt Wheeler

I am proud of the open, inclusive process to revise the village zoning based on the Comprehensive Plan that continued during 2010. The public input has been extremely thorough and thoughtful Kurt Wheeler and has helped us to create a better product. We look forward to completing that final stage of that process during 2011. I’m proud of the superb service that our Department of Public Works provides day in and day out for our village. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated and professional crew to keep our village safe and wellmaintained. I’m pleased with the effort that Chief Hayes and his officers have made to move toward a

community policing style of law enforcement and look forward to that initiative continuing in 2011. There have been several major investments made in the village by businesses and property owners (Key Bank, Extramart, Dr. Fauth, McDonald’s). We look forward to more of these, notably Riverside Drive, during the year ahead as we seek to maintain a vibrant economy and improve our tax base. Every member of our village team is committed to providing the best possible services as efficiently as possible. When you read about cases of waste and fraud in other places, it makes me proud to be part of such a dedicated municipal staff. Residents should be aware of what good people they have working for them.

Cazenovia Chief of Police Michael A. Hayes

Becoming the Chief of Police for the village of Cazenovia is one of my proudest achievements for my first almost four months as chief. Second would be establishing the foundation of community policing that involves establishing working relationships with partner agencies, community leaders, business owners, the police department and of course the community. What would I like to accomplish by the end of 2011? To complete the updated Policy and Procedure Manual, continue building our community relations and locate more grants to assist in funding the police department and expand our abilities.

Bill Carr, Cazenovia Village Department of Public Works

We have had a very busy year in the village of Cazenovia. Here is a list of projects that were completed by the DPW and Water Department in 2010. • Help NYS Canal Corp Clean and repair Carpenters Pond • New Streets: Chenango, Hickory Lane, South Ten Eyck, Fountain Park and parts of Emory, Green and Corwin streets • New water line on Chenango Street • Several new hydrants installed throughout the village • Installed sidewalk from Carriage Lane to McDonald’s • New addition to water garage • New addition to cemetery garage • New fences and drainage at Lakeside Park • New windows for the building and new roofs for dugouts at Burton Street Skate Park • All new, energy-efficient lights in the municipal building, street garage and Water Department building Looking forward For 2011 we will be updating the water department pump house, more street reconstruction, and we will be working on Carpenter building at Lakeside Park and much more.

In these tough economic times, agencies like the United Way provide a much-needed support for non-profit organizations like Madison Cortland ARC. Because of funding cuts at the state and local levels, non-profits often have to draw from many resources in order to continually provide much-needed programs and services. The United Way, too, is feeling the effects of current economic conditions, but that does not stop them from continuing to provide funding and other support for our core mission. Please join me and support the United Way, and thank them for all that they do. And again, thank you to everyone in the community who helps Madison Cortland ARC and the United Way work together to build futures for people with develop-

Turkey Craw pole beans are productive, hold flavor well Winter might be bright and white but for some it’s an angry time and anger leads to annoyance, aversion, disapprobation, disapproval, and disgruntlement, where everything just “sticks in your craw.” Barbano That being In the ato reference the craw garden of a bird, also called a crop. It’s where birds store food before they go to a safe place to grind their food in their gizzard. And sometimes when you kill a bird you can find undigested food in their craw. Somewhere in Virginia, North Carolina or Tennessee, an African American slave hunter shot a wild turkey and found some undigested beans in the turkey’s craw. These were planted and grown out into a tall pole bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The beans were about six inches long, string-less with attractive brown seeds flecked with tan specks and brown eye rings. The seeds were passed on from friend to friend, gardener to gardener and became known simply as “Turkey Craw” beans. Doesn’t it gall you when things are what they’re cracked up to be?

Well the Turkey Craw bean wasn’t just a novelty. Turkey Craw pole beans are productive and can be used fresh as a crisp snap bean or left to ripen on the vine then picked as a dry bean. The green beans hold their outstanding flavor up well, even when canned or frozen. The long vines make this an easygoing bean to grow in cornfields. Another old time use for Turkey Craw beans is to dry them into “leather britches.” Leather Britches Beans, also called “shucky beans,” are a staple of the American South and particularly the Appalachian area where Turkey Craw beans were first found. Leather Britches are made by stringing whole green beans that are picked when the seeds are starting to develop but the outside of the pod is still green. The beans are strung on a length of thin twine and then air-dry for several weeks. Thus preserved your Leather Britches merely needed gallons of after and several hours of slow cooking with hunk of smoked ham hocks. Smells so good cooking that even the turkeys might come back to eat those beans. Sadly this old heirloom bean was almost lost as fewer and fewer people gardened, much less saved their own seeds. Luckily, one man, John Withee,

took it upon himself to collect as many bean seeds as he could. He later turned his collection of about 1,200 varieties of bean seeds over to Seed Savers Exchange. Fittingly the 2011 Seed Savers Exchange features the Turkey Craw bean in its free catalog (online at seedsavers.org). Another seed preservation organization that sells Turkey Craw bean seeds is Sand Hill Preservation Center, (free catalog by mail or 1878 230th Street, Calamus, Iowa 52729 or online at sandhillpreservation.com.) Winter is not a good time to plant but a very good time to order your seeds. Like all pole beans, grow your Turkey Craw pole beans where the vines can cling to trellises, tepees, or single poles. Wait until the soil has warmed in the spring and sow the seeds an inch deep, three inches apart. Keep the rows four feet apart. An ounce of Turkey Craw bean seed will plant about 14 feet of garden row or around eight poles. So the next time something irritates or infuriates you, or even exasperates you, think of the Turkey Craw bean, and the nerve of it all that the bird didn’t even enjoy his last meal but had the beans taken out of his crop and planted. Now that really, really sticks in your craw.

In history

100 Years Ago January 5, 1911 – Alexander Muncil & Co. have placed one of their Adirondack Snow Packers here on trial. This machine is for packing down the snow in the highways. Their theory is that where it is used in the traveled path it packs the snow so solid that it forms an ice bed and will not slump or cut off after a thaw, and hold the snow on the road so that there will be sleighing as long as there is snow elsewhere. The Nickerson street neighborhood has again shown its enterprise by starting a magazine club. Fourteen magazines consisting of the popular weeklies and monthlies have been selected and will be exchanged each Saturday during the year. This affords the different families a wider range of reading matter than they would get by subscribing individually. It is called the Nickerson Street Magazine Club. Don’t chop the ice off of the sidewalks with an ax. In several places the cement has been chipped off in this way. When the ice is thawed is the time to

get it off the walk, and not when it is frozen so hard it is necessary to use an implement that will injure the sidewalk. 50 Years Ago January 5, 1961 – According to the news from Syracuse, there was no skating in the city parks over the holidays. The ground had not frozen enough to form a base for a cover of ice, so no skating for all those city kids on vacation. At this point will you join us in giving three cheers to the Cazenovia Optimists and the faithful crews of the Youth Recreation Commission who have prepared and made ready the Burton Street rink so all our local youngsters might try out all those nice shiny skates. Christmas night was a warm, clear night, just right for skating and the rink was filled with laughing, happy children. This column is compiled by Sharon Cooney from the Cazenovia Republican archives at Lorenzo State Historic Site in Cazenovia. It is written in the style of the time. Sharon Cooney is Interpretive Programs Assistant at Lorenzo.

Club wraps up most successful year yet By Dave Bull We wound up our most successful bridge year ever with a five-table, 20player duplicate game at the Cazenovia Public Library on Dec. 28. During the year, 97 different players played a total of 1, 438 man (woman) days during our 52 week, one day a week game. Much of the credit for this great year must go to Jane Fuller and Barbara Roller who held lessons before our game and encouraged many players to try their hand at duplicate bridge. Jane and Barbara will begin a

winter session of these bridge lessons which will have started Jan. 4. These are held every Tuesday morning at the Community Room of the Cazenovia Library with a beginner session starting at 9:30 a.m. and a more advanced lesson given at 10 a.m. They’re finished before noon, are fun and very educational, and they are free (you are encouraged to purchase a low cost text). If you’ve even been thinking about this, please come or give Jane Fuller a call at 655-3224. Incidentally, Penny Emerick and Dave Bull just nipped Toni and Bob

Salisbury at the duplicate game. The group meets at 1 p.m. Tuesdays at the Cazenovia Public Library, usually in the community room. All games are open to the public, but we ask players to come with their own partners. We are not a sanctioned American Contract Bridge League game by choice, so we don’t give ACBL master points and try to keep it a friendly game. The skill levels of our players vary considerably. Dave Bull is volunteer publicist for the Cazenovia Bridge Club.

What was supposed to be a fourteam holiday tournament for VernonVerona-Sherrill’s boys basketball team shrunk by one participant when a team was unable to make the trip. Thus, the Red Devils settled for back-to-back games, starting last Monday night when it took charge against Georgetown (Ontario) and won in a 72-40 blowout. What broke it open was a stretch in the first quarter where Georgetown, beaten down by VVS’s full-court pressure, did not manage a point, accumulating 10 turnovers for the period. Meanwhile, the Red Devils put up 17 unanswered points, took a 22-5 lead, and kept up the pressure the rest of the night. VVS led, 41-21, at the half, and then outscored Georgetown 20-8 in the third quarter to wrap things up. Ten different players scored for the Red Devils, as Nash Robb led the deep,

balanced attack with 12 points. Joe Spinella (11 points) and Travis Eaton (10 points) hit double figures, too, as Isaac Pitman produced nine points and Brett Fields added seven points. Two nights later, VVS faced Penn Yan, from the Section V ranks, and made it back-to-back wins as it defeated the Mustangs 65-51. In essence, the first quarter decided everything. Led by Pitman, who scored 11 of his 18 points in the opening period, the Red Devils bolted out to a 20-7 lead. It then used a 16-4 run late in the first half to make it 42-23 at the break. For his efforts, Pitman (who also had 14 rebounds on the night) was named the tournament MVP. Brett Fields, with 10 points, and Spinella, with seven points, also made the AllTournament team as Andrew Kane stepped up for 10 points. As for the Oneida boys basketball team, it ventured to the Fabius-Pompey Tournament and, in last Tuesday’s opening round, used a quick start as the impetus for a 65-53 victory over Cincinnatus. Before the Lions could settle down, the Indians had a 16-6 lead, and the margin grew to 38-20 by halftime before things evened out. Benn DeR-

ocker, with 12 points, led a balanced attack where Kyle Peck gained 11 points and Eric Riley got nine points. Chris Morehouse (seven points) and David Rougeux (six points) also made solid contributions. The final pitted Oneida against Cazenovia, who beat host F-P 56-44 in the other part of the first round. It proved close – but again, the Indians came out on top, beating the Lakers 58-55. A rough first half left Oneida facing a 29-22 deficit, but it cranked up its defense in the third quarter, holding Cazenovia to eight points as it tied things up, 37-37. Then it survived a tense final period by mostly relying on a pair of proven stars. Peck led with 22 points, while DeRocker picked up 17 points, nine of them from successful free throws. Trevor Haskell, with eight points, and Eric Riley, with seven points, offered the support as Tanner Whiteman and Chris Schaffner each led Cazenovia with 14 points. Oneida then rested before a key Friday game at Whitesboro – just as VVS was opening 2011 with Tri-Valley League tests against Camden and Utica-Notre Dame.

Otherwise, the Red Devils lost to General Brown 4529, Burnt Hills 46-33 and Amsterdam 40-30. Overall, VVS had a 4-5 mark, which reflected as much on the high quality of the opposition than anything else. Cazenovia would go 3-2 in its appearance at Central Square’s Brett Dixon Memorial Duals. The Lakers, led by Most Outstanding Wrestler Ryan Cook (125-130 pounds), edged Port Byron 39-35, topped Jordan-Elbridge 45-30 and beat East Syracuse-Minoa 48-35, but lost 63-20 to host Central Square and fell to Holland Patent 66-14.

Lose some weight and feel better!

Many of the area’s high school wrestling teams used the holiday break for early rest and recuperation – but others hit the tournament circuit in search of some glory. Of them, Canastota carried the highest profile, winning three different divisions on its way to an eighth-place finish at the Kenneth Haines Tournament, held last Tuesday and Wednesday at SUNYOswego’s Laker Hall. Anthony Finocchiaro secured the 130-pound title, shutting out Chenango Valley’s Adam Greene 6-0 in the finals, while Tyler Sirota fought his way to the 160-pound finals, then took care of Fulton’s Nick Woodworth in a 9-2 decision. Best of all, though, was the 171-pound final between the Raiders’ Zach

Zupan and Phoenix star Austyn Hayes. For six minutes, the pair battled it out, neither one able to get away – but Zupan just did enough to beat Hayes 6-5 and, in the process, earned the 100th win of his career. And he’s still just a sophomore. Canastota finished with 140.5 points, far off Fulton’s winning total of 264.5 points, but still better than most of the 19 teams in the field. Helping in the cause was Sam Farfaglia (160 pounds) and Travis Conklin (215 pounds), both of whom had sixth-place finishes. Vernon-Verona-Sherrill joined an elite field at Dolgeville for the Mountain Duals, and had some struggles in the early going. The Red Devils began last Tuesday by beating Watervliet 42-30, but quickly fell to Indian River 52-25. VVS did beat New Hart-

No, it doesn’t equate to winning a sectional or state championship – but the Cazenovia ice hockey team still reached a huge milestone in the waning days of 2010. When the first state Division II rankings were released, it was the Lakers on top for the first time in the program’s history, its 5-0 start enough to impress the voters. As always, a top ranking also means a bigger target for opponents to shoot at – but when the Lakers went to the Cortland/Homer Tournament during the holiday break, no one would come close to catching them. In last Tuesday’s opening round, the Lakers faced Frontier, a Section VI school from the southern suburbs of Buffalo, and unleashed its best offensive effort of the season in a 10-3 romp over the Falcons. Already ahead 2-0, Cazenovia dazzled the crowd in the second period by finding the net five times, a barrage that Frontier could not possibly answer. Brian Gara and Sam Lewis both had career outings, as Gara piled up five goals and three assists and, somehow, Lewis got the other five goals, a personal beset. As the help, Connor Cannizzaro earned three assists, with Joe Nardella adding two assists. Joe Colligan, Cullen Franz and Cameron Brathan had one assist apiece. This sent the Lakers into Wednesday’s championship game against Cortland-Homer, the hosts having survived Utica Proctor 1-0 in the other part of the opening round. Knowing how hard the

Golden Eagles had to work just to reach the finals, Cazenovia pushed the tempo from the opening face-off – resulting in a big early lead and, ultimately, a 6-2 victory and the first-place trophy. Just as with Frontier, the Lakers bounced out to a 2-0 lead in the first period. And just like the day before, the Lakers made the second period decisive, this time outscoring Cortland-Homer 3-1 to secure its ultimate winning margin. More than in other games, Cazenovia proved balanced in its attack. Five different players scored, led by Lewis, who had two goals and one assist, as Nardella, Gara, David Marshall, Brian Demo and Zach Daniels also took turns converting. Sean Cannizzaro had two assists as Alan Baldwin and Connor Cannizzaro joined Marshall and Nardella with single assists. Overall, Cazenovia took 42 shots to Cortland/Homer’s 10. As for Hamilton, it closed out its 2010 portion of the schedule last Wednesday with an impressive 3-0 shutout of Fayetteville-Manlius at the Morrisville State IcePlex. All the goals came in the second period as Alex Brink found the net twice and See Hockey, page 8

Caz girls survive early, win Unadilla Tournament By Phil Blackwell

While it still waited for Ashley Stec’s ankle to heal, the Cazenovia girls basketball team endured its biggest scare of the young season during last Monday’s opening round of the Unadilla Valley Tournament. Up against Harpursville in the first round, the Lakers had to battle until the final possession, but did enough to register a 45-43 victory. From the start, Harpurs-

ville showed that it could work past Cazenovia’s formidable defenses and get baskets. This kept things close, as the Lakers only led 28-23 going into halftime. No matter what it tried, Cazenovia could not pull away, the game in doubt deep into the fourth quarter, but led by Taylor Malmsheimer, the Lakers held on. All Malmsheimer did was pour in 20 points, nearly half of Cazenovia’s output, and sank four 3pointers along the way.

Ellen Burr finished with nine points, while Colleen Dougherty produced eight points and Raeanne Clabeaux got six points. In Tuesday’s final against Sherburne-Earlville (who beat host Unadilla 53-42 to get to this point), the Lakers had a far easier time of it, rolling past the Marauders 53-30. Again, Cazenovia’s defense seized the spotlight, especially in a second quarter where it held S-E to just five points, allowing the Lakers to slide into a 26-13

lead. All through the second half, the margin kept growing. Malmsheimer (named the tournament MVP) cooled off, to six points, but Clabeaux and Burr stepped up, providing inside-outside balance. Clabeaux’s 18 points included both of Cazenovia’s 3-pointers on the day, while Burr took control in the paint and also had 18 points. As this was going on, Cazenovia’s boys basketball team, who had beaten Marcellus just before the

holiday break, continued that momentum into the Fabius-Pompey Tournament – and almost earned the championship of that event. The Lakers beat the host F-P Falcons 56-44 in Tuesday’s opening round. More steady than spectacular, Cazenovia methodically built a 43-29 lead through three periods, so it had the margin to withstand the Falcons’ late surge. Each of the 12 Cazenovia players that saw action got at least one field goal,

Kinnon Nolan-Finkel also converted. Rob Keever, Alex Foster, Dan Buehler and Marc Donahue earned assists. Hamilton’s defense did the rest as Brady Carroll stopped all 15 shots he faced. Hamilton (4-2, 2-1 Division I) is home this week for back-to-back games against Watertown IHC and Clinton before going to Shove Park Friday to face defending state Division I champion West Genesee. Meanwhile, Cazenovia would aim for seven wins in a row Tuesday, at Auburn, before returning to the IcePlex to face Fulton on Thursday.

with Tanner Whiteman at the helm as he earned 11 points. David McEntee had a season-best eight points, while Doyle Judge and Ben Romagnoli got seven points apiece. Moving on to Wednesday’s final, Cazenovia faced Oneida, from the Class A ranks, who had beaten Cincinnatus 65-53 to reach this point. In a tense battle not decided until the closing seconds, the Lakers lost to the Indians 58-55 in a game it appeared to have control of, at least in the early going. With its defense continuing to improve, Cazenovia roughed up Oneida in the first half and worked its way to a 29-22 lead. Then it disappeared as, in the third quarter, the Lakers went cold and couldn’t hit its shots, allowing Oneida to tie it 37-37. Led by Kyle Peck, who had 21 points, and Benn DeRocker, who earned nine of his 17 points at the free-throw line, the Indians edged in front in the fourth quarter and stayed there, despite all of Cazenovia’s tries to get back even. Whiteman and Chris Schaffner paced Cazenovia, each finishing with 14 points. Ben Romagnoli had eight points as Judge and Joe Romagnoli earned six points apiece. Cazenovia’s teams both head back into the OHSL Liberty division in the first full week of 2011 for games against Hannibal and Bishop Grimes.

Cancer survivor benefits For months, Eileen Altieri, 70, was from YMCA program not feeling well. She was tired and weak By Judy Salamone

and just wasn’t herself. She didn’t want to go to the doctor, as she feared the worst. Finally, last January, with some coaxing from her daughter, Altieri, who lives in Syracuse, made the call. “I was visiting my daughter in Brooklyn and she said to me, ‘mom, if you don’t call the doctor, you are being selfish,’” Altieri recalled. “I called and I got an appointment right away.” Altieri’s fears were realized as she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The cancer had metastasized to her lungs and liver and the doctor gave her just three months to live. “I was numb,” she shared. “All of those months I talked myself out of going to the doctor because I was scared. I was foolish and now I had to face this head-on.” Altieri immediately had surgery to remove a tumor and began her chemotherapy treatments at Brittonfield in East Syracuse. One day, as she was waiting for one of her treatments, she noticed a LIVESTRONG at the YMCA

brochure on the table next to her. She picked it up and started reading. “It was funny, I was sitting there, thinking to myself, ‘gee, what if there was a program out there where people who were battling cancer or who battled cancer could get together for support and workout’

diet . exercise . education

When I looked down, saw the brochure and started reading it, I was amazed. What a Godsend.” Since October of 2009, the YMCA of Greater Syracuse has offered the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA physical activity and well-being program. Over 100 cancer survivors have participated in the program which is offered at the three branches-Downtown, East Area Family YMCA, and the North Area Family YMCA. The program, which is free to YMCA members and non-members, addresses the special wants, needs and interests of cancer survivors. The programs and services have been developed for and with cancer survivors, which include services in the area of wellness and childcare. Altieri began the Strive & Thrive Program at the See LIVESTRONG on next page

“Once you begin to feel better, there’s more hope, you feel more powerful and it reinforces a positive attitude.”

How to make sure your gym is a ‘fit’

Running news

First-ever Empire State Marathon, Half Marathon held Oct. 16

What to look for in an exercise facility When a person decides to make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, that decision is often accompanied by the decision to join a gym. Gyms can vary greatly. Some cater to specific activities, such as kick boxing or martial arts, while others are more general in scope, with weight training and cardiovascular equipment and access to personal trainers. Regardless of which type of facility an individual is hoping to join, certain external factors go a long way to dictating whether or not joining the gym will be a success. When looking for an exercise facility, the following items should be taken into consideration before signing an agreement. Location Even the most ardent of gym rats would say it helps a great deal to find a gym that’s conveniently located. If the gym is too far away or getting there requires sitting in heavy traffic, then men and women are much less likely to visit the gym as they would be to visit a gym that’s right down the street or easy to get to. When looking for an exercise facility, find one that’s either close to home or close to the office (preferably both if you work close to home). For those who work far away from home, the gym’s location should ideally be closer to home to promote working out on weekends when you won’t be anywhere near the office. Fellow members Certain gyms might prove intimidating or uncomfortable because of their existing members. While the members themselves might be warm and friendly, those new to working out might be intimidated if everyone else in the building looks

initiation fees you may incur or discounts you may be eligible for. Because of the struggling economy, many gyms have waived or are open to waiving sign-up or initiation costs, which can cost in the hundreds of dollars at some facilities. Also, when discussing cost with a facility employee, ask if there are family discounts or if memberships are reduced if fees are paid all at once instead of every month. For example, a gym might charge $600 annually ($50 per month), but give a 10 percent discount to any members who pay a year’s worth of dues at sign-up. When discussing membership costs, keep in mind many gyms are open to negotiation, but prospective members must initiate any such negotiations. Membership rights Many gyms boast different types of memberships. Some memberships are all-access and allow members to use the weight room, sauna, pool, etc. Other memberships might cost less but not offer as much access. For instance, a basic membership might offer access to the weight room and cardiovascular machines, but not to the pool or sauna. Choosing the right membership depends on the individual.

CANCER BEWARE Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

East Area Family YMCA last April. Strive & Thrive is for adult cancer survivors who wish to build muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance, improve overall functional ability, and reduce the severity of therapy side effects. The program incorporates stretching, balance, core work and strength training and consists of six to eight participants. “I was always active,” Altieri said. “When I started the program in April, I was very weak. I came in very thin and really needed to build muscle mass and strength.” During her first few weeks of the program, Altieri was only able to lift five-pound weights. By the end of the program in July, she was back lifting 15 pounds, her pre-illness weight, and bench-pressing 100 pounds. “The support of the trainers at the Y is amazing,” said Altieri, who continues her workouts. “They push you in an encouraging way. They definitely encourage you to stretch yourself and do more. I walk out of there (the exercise room) on cloud nine. “More importantly,” she added. “The sense of community is what it’s all about. We are all here because of a commonality. But, we don’t talk about our illness. It’s all very positive. It’s just a magnificent program.” Altieri said that her cancer is almost gone. Her lungs are clear and her liver is almost back to normal. And, she no longer thinks about the prognosis that the doctor gave her back in January. “The LIVESTRONG Program at the Y has been beneficial to me in so many ways,” Altieri said. “Once you begin to feel better, there’s more hope, you feel more powerful and it reinforces a positive attitude. I feel so good, I forgot how I felt when I first came in.”

workout steam, then the basic membership can save money while still meeting all of the desired needs. For those who want all-access, the more expensive membership might be more up your alley. Whichever membership is the better fit, be sure the membership agreement lists your rights as a member before signing any paperwork. Hours of operation Some people prefer to workout before going to work, while others want to sleep in and exercise after a day at the office. Individuals should find a gym that fits their schedules and workout preferences. It’s also good to inquire about holiday hours of operation. A good gym won’t shut down entirely during a holiday, and instead stay open on at least a limited schedule. Equipment Even those new to working out should be able to tell if equipment is up-to-date or outdated. A gym with outdated equipment is best to avoid, as older equipment could increase risk of injury. A gym with the latest equipment is a gym that likely emphasizes giving its members the best possible environment in which to workout, and that’s important for all fitness enthusiasts, but especially those who are just beginning.

She also spearheads the Costume for a Cause fundraiser at the Association.

“ This annual event takes place around Halloween and raises monetary and other applicable donations for a local cause,� Hetko said. “We’re also proud of the financial services we provide to the Central New York community,� Russo said. “We want to actively participate in assisting households who have fallen victim to the sub-prime and adjustable rate mortgage market.� “Concentrating on the needs of Central New Yorkers is what Seneca Federal is all about,� Russo concluded.

Springside residents enjoy active community

The residents of Springside at Seneca Hill can enjoy many fun and informative community programs brought right to their door on a regular basis.

Prostate cancer and the CyberKnife Hematology-Oncology Associates of Central New York is involved in a nationwide study to assess the efficacy of the CyberKnife for the treatment of prostate cancer. Early evidence of CyberKnife prostate radiosurgery is very promising and comparable to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – one of the current standards for treatment. In fact, the CyberKnife is revolutionizing prostate treatments. In addition to being more precise and as effective as IMRT, CyberKnife prostate radiosurgery is completed in five treatments, typically in one calendar week – as compared to 43 treatments or eight to ten weeks of IMRT. The CyberKnife provides a unique and promising treatment for early stage prostate cancer.

Boys track competes at DiMao

Lady Lakers race to another victory By Kurt Wheeler

Submitted photo

Freshman Jeanette Cudney won the 1000 meter run and placed fourth in the 600 to help lead the girls indoor track team to another invitational victory on December 28. Cudney set a new school indoor record in the 3000 earlier this season.

The Cazenovia girls indoor track and field team captured their third consecutive win of the season as they scored 112.33 points to place first among 16 teams at the Dec. 28 John DiMao Memorial Invitational hosted by Colgate University. The Lakers won five of 16 events, placed second in five others and scored points in 15 events to accumulate their winning total. Class B rival Clinton was second with 87 points while Class A Jamesville-Dewitt and AA Rome Free Academy placed third and fourth. Senior Captain Hollie Marcelle led the Lakers on the track as she won the 1500 in 5:12.27 (less than two seconds from the school record) and led off the winning 4x800 meter relay. Margaret Wolsey was sixth in the 1500 (5:31.63) and anchored the 4x800. Emma Wolsey and Alex Dolbear also contributed to the relay victory. Jill Vogl

won the 300-meter dash in an impressive personal best time of 42.89. Jackie O’Sullivan also ran a strong 47.87 in her first 300-meter race. Vogl captured second in the 55 meter dash in a quick 7.81 seconds, just 1/10 from the school record, and led off the Lakers’ second place 4x200 meter relay with a 27.2 second leg. Piper Gianforte, O’Sullivan and Audrey Bowers also contributed to the strong overall time of 1:55.20. Distance start Jeanette Cudney proved her versatility by winning the 1000 meter run in 3:29.09 and capturing fourth in the 600 in

1:51.25. Teammates Caroline Marshall (fourth in 3:31.65) and Rachel Grimm (seventh in 3:33.13) were close behind in the 1000 while Marshall (1:52.51) and Dolbear (1:52.51) also ran well in the 600. Paige Biviano was in peak form in the 55 meter hurdles, placing second in 9.38, just 9/100 from her own school record. The 4x400 relay of Emmajean Speer, Katelyn Parrella, Abby Eschen and O’Sullivan was fourth in 4:53.42 while the sprint medley relay of Meghan Karmis, Glenna Kelahan, Lindsay Loeper and Marie See Track, page 19

In the boys portion of the DiMao Invitational, Cazenovia finished fifth, with 33 points, as Chittenango tied for sixth with 29 points. Oneida was 11th with 22 points as Utica Proctor (84 points) claimed the top spot. The Lakers saw its 4x200 relay team of Forest Blanchard, Tom Mackowiak, Dylan Muller and Conner Polsin finish second, edged by New Hartford, 1:42.78 to the Spartans’ 1:42.54. Chittenango’s Josiah Durfee won the mile in 4:35.53, ahead of, among others, Cazenovia’s Pat Dermody, who took third place in 4:39.18. Dermody added a fourth (2:50.45) in the 1,000, ahead of Josiah and John Durfee, who were fifth and sixth, respectively.

TENDENCIES Tendon injuries are painful and can be disruptive to the lives of individuals who suffer them, particularly athletes. Rupture of a tendon, which endures forces that may exceed five times body weight, is especially serious and may result in excruciating pain and permanent disability if untreated. Researchers are constantly trying to increase their understanding of how injury to the fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone can be avoided. One piece of information that recently came to light is that the risk of tendon injuries tends to be higher in female athletes with naturally higher levels of estrogen. No connection was found between different times of the menstrual cycle and variations in estrogen levels that could

Our therapists work to restore the normal alignment of the body’s tissues and structures through a hands-on, one-on-one approach. We also educate you on how your body functions, and guide you to a proper stretching and exercise program.
